Recently, however, while the trend of family planning is easing some slippage recall the darkest hours of the birth control policy.

Under this leadership, China experienced its first population wave, especially in the 60s, when its population from 700 to 800 million in 5 years.

Faced with this runaway population 1971 saw the establishment of the Chinese government the first member of birth control: family planning.
